The House of the Rising Sun written and performed by Nick Strauss (c) 2020
I decided to rewrite this song.
I.
There is a house in New Orleans
A house of the rising sun
Its been the bane of many a young boy,
And Lord I know I'm one.
II.
The house was a grand place to grow
And grow the young boy did
Till he was as tall as the trees beside
The house of the rising sun.
III.
A gale came from out of the east
And flooded the town one day
It spared the life of one little boy
In the house of the rising sun.
IV.
The boy did pack a sack and a hat
And left the house that same day
He followed the sun west down the road
And left his home, "Goodbye"
V.
Years later, a old man returned
To the house of the rising sun
It was the same place he knew as a boy
A house of the rising sun.
